installing digital version mass effect

★ Novice

I have a digital version of the game  in a winrar file and I want to install without buying another game.   I brought from  Bigpond Gamearena in 2009 which they don't exist anymore. 

Its not Steam or Origin version

In Bioware old forums they use to have instruction how to install it and make it work. 

 

May have the link please.

Update: looks like I install the game right. I install Bring the sky down dlc and activated and patched up to 1.02.   The configuration tool is working as attended, pick my options, save and exit.

Press play, EA, Bioware and the other then the splash screen with the press anykey. I press a key planet goes down freezes and crashes.
